Jhon

Jhon is 30 years old and married with two children. He also takes care of his mother and they all live together in his house. Each morning he sells fruit from his house (such as oranges, mandarins, grapefruit and other types of fruit that are grown in his region) and at night he sells meals in a nearby plaza in order to provide for his wife and his mother. He has been engaged in this activity for the last seven years and it is going well for him. What he likes about his work is the selling and giving good service to his customers. It is also profitable for him because he can sell things every day and they bring him a good income. Jhon is very satisfied with his work because his earnings are allowing him to make some repairs on his house. In the future he would like to open a restaurant big enough to accomodate all of his guests. Jhon has three loans with Microfinanzas PRISMA and he mentioned that he likes working with his communal bank because of the order and punctuality that exists among the members. The funds that he is requesting will be invested in his two businesses, selling fruit and selling meals, and part of it will also be used to repair some parts of his house.
